Home away from Home

Excellent location. If you going to cook, well stocked and laid out kitchen and dining. Plenty of room to be together and to be separate when wanting quiet time. Easy access to base for military ceremonies and to sight see. Quiet and safe neighborhood to walk in. Host was extremely attentive before, during and after booking.

Just what we needed

The Gathering Place was in a great location with the amenities we needed. We visited from out of stat for our son's Ranger school graduation. It was just what we were looking for as a place for all of us to decompress & relax. The beds were also very comfortable. It is in a quiet neighborhood & a good location near the base & highways. Communication with the owner was great. I would recommend to others as well as stay here again.

Very Comfortable Relaxing stay

We came down for a family members turning green ceremony at Fort Benning and really wanted a relaxing spot for our soldier to get away from it all and have some home cooked meals. This property was just that and we couldn't have been in a better environment. The neighborhood is clean and quiet. The kitchen had all of the necessary equipment to make the meals requested and the home felt like home. This was the perfect property for our extended weekend stay and close to where we needed to be. You won't be disappointed if you choose to book this property.

Pictures don't do the house justice

We choose this rental for the amount of beds and there being a seperate shower that my geriatric father wouldn't have to step into a bathtub. The pictures didn't do the house justice. Nice quiet neighborhood, clean and cozy. Great communication.GO ARMY!

Great option to stay in Columbus!

Property was in a safe and quiet neighborhood, only a short drive to shopping, dining, downtown attractions and to Ft. Moore. Host was responsive and since we were coming during the coldest, snowiest Jan. in GA, was kind enough to confirm road conditions for us and turned the heat up in advance of our arrival. Home was inviting, had all the amenities you could need and quite comfortable. Will definitely book again if I’m back in the area!

Perfect! Will not hesitate to book again without looking if we have the opportunity to get back in the area. The other parties in our group that stayed in hotels were so jealous. Clean, accommodating, spacious, affordable, & safe. Quiet neighborhood right in between everything in the area. Excellent stay!

Clean property and thoughtful extras

My husband and I stayed with another couple for a weekend. Property was clean with plenty of towels and just the right kitchen essentials along with some extras - we were grateful for the bottled water, butter, pancake mix, syrup, coffee, etc that got us through the first couple of days. Great location and comfy living quarters. We enjoyed our stay!
